Reparations for Black Mental Health Counselors

  • Summary

  • In my second book, How to Fight Racism, I wrote a section called "Create a Pipeline of Mental Health Therapists of Color." In it I suggested that "you or your church could contribute to scholarship funds for people of color interested in getting trained in mental health and therapy."


    Well, a group actually did this and formed the Black Mental Health Counselors Reparations Foundation. I spoke to the three founders: Drs. Dr. Layla Bonner, DeAndrea Witherspoon Nash, and Danny Bryant.


    They explain the extensive and EXPENSIVE process of training to become a professional counselor. They also talk about their organization and how they are raising $1 million to completely pay for the education and credentialing of Black mental health professionals.
